Leeds schedules referendum for April ballot and moves commission meetings to 6 p.m.
Summary
Commissioners put a valid petition to refer a resolution on the April general election ballot (petitioners preferred that date to avoid special-election costs) and voted to change regular commission meeting times from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The clerk announced receipt of a valid petition to refer Resolution 20-24-08 to a public vote. Petitioners told the commission they preferred placing the question on the April general election ballot rather than holding a costly special election. After discussion about timing and budget implications, the commission voted to schedule the referendum for the April general election, which will include the mayoral election on that ballot.
Commissioners also discussed shifting the regular commission meeting start time from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to increase public participation and to avoid conflict with neighboring Deadwood’s meeting schedule. The commission voted to change its meeting time; the next regular meeting was set for November 4 at 6:00 p.m.
No executive session was requested and the meeting adjourned.
